Synopsis
Tortoises are fascinating animals. Unfortunately, many tortoise species are difficult to keep healthy in captivity, which is contrary to what a lot of people thought in the past. Lack of knowledge among tortoise owners ensures that the average age of animals in captivity is a lot lower than the natural life expectancy of tortoises. It is only to be expected that most enthusiasts have problems getting tortoises to reproduce in captivity. The good news is that a lot more information has become available about the different species. Species which were classified as 'impossible to keep' ten years ago are now being bred successfully.The Internet also ensures a better availability of information about these fascinating animals. This book provides the vital basic information, so that novice or future tortoise owners know how to care for a tortoise in a responsible manner. You should realise that buying a tortoise must be a well-considered choice. Because of the large diversity, it is impossible to include all the species-specific things in this book. Before buying a tortoise, inform yourself about the best care for this species. Do not become misled by the beauty of certain species, but choose a species which is within your possibilities. Do not just rely on this book for information, but also ask other tortoise enthusiasts, e.g. from a reptile association.
